Daisy Miller
Henry James · 1877 · 66 pages
Daisy Miller, a vivacious young American lady from Schenectady, NY is travelling in Europe with her clueless mother and brother. There, she meets, and all-too-openly charms, fellow American, Frederick Winterbourne and an Italian social climber, Mr Giovanelli. This overly flirtatious behaviour leads Winterbourne to question whether Daisy is corrupt, simply dazzled by the European high society she aspires to join or is just oblivious to the established social conventions?Daisy Miller is a work of particular interest. It was Henry James' first representation of the dangerously independent American woman which came to dominate his later work. This larger font edition is taken from the revised 1909 New York edition printed in a larger font, is ideal for school or college students. Here, one main benefit is the ten pages of blank lined notepaper provided at the end of this volume, and is particularly useful for making notes or essay plans.This edition contains the complete and unabridged text in addition to a personal notebook - which means it offers excellent value for money.
